Hi,
The more i have been looking at this the more i am confusing myself. :oops:
" X company is one of the most respected players On the market or In the market" :?:
I know that we work IN a sector but we work ON the stock market.
Can anyone give me a ruling on it and tell me why. :?
My student is extremely advanced and challenging so i need a full proof answer if possible.
cheers,
suzanna
In the market/on the market

Re: In the market/on the market
In the market. On the market means "for sale"
Re: In the market/on the market
Hey Alex,
Thanks for your reply.
In the market can also mean to be looking for something aswell.
It was really with reference to In a sector but then to explain why we cannot say in the stock market and we use on. There seems to be many exceptions.
EG: Would you say there is a difference with saying.... I work in the market/I work on the market
Excluding : to be working on something (to fix a problem)
